By using a natural localization method, one describes the finite codimensional invariant subspaces of the Bergman //-tuple of operators associated to some bounded pseudoconvex domains in C" , with a sufficiently nice boundary. with the structure and classification of the invariant subspaces of the Bergman n-tuple of operators, cf. Agrawal-Salinas [2], Axler-Bourdon [4], Bercovici [5], Douglas [7], Douglas-Paulsen . Due to the richness of this lattice of invariant subspaces, the additional assumption on finite codimension was naturally adopted by the above mentioned authors as a first step towards a better understanding of its properties. The present note arose from the observation that, when the L 2bounded evaluation points of a pseudoconvex domain lie in the Fredholm resolvent set of the associated Bergman rc-tuple, then the description of finite codimensional invariant subspaces is, at least conceptually, a fairly simple algebraic matter. This simplification requires only the basic properties of the sheaf model for systems of commuting operators introduced in [11]. The main result below is also available by some other recent methods. First is the quite similar technique of localizing Hubert modules over function algebras, due to Douglas and Douglas and Paulsen , and secondly is the study of the so-called canonical subspaces of some Hubert spaces with reproducing kernels, developed by Agrawal and Salinas . Both points of view will be discussed in §2 of this note. In fact the Bergman space of a pseudoconvex domain is only an example within a class of abstract Banach ^(C^-modules, whose finite codimensional submodules turn out to have a similar structure. The precise formulation of this remark ends the note. We would like to thank the referee, whose observations pointed out some bibliographical omissions in a first version of the manuscript. Let Ω be a bounded pseudoconvex domain in C n , n > 1, and let L%(Q) denote the corresponding Bergman
